Maybe if I post something, someone will read it and actually think about this. Maybe not. But you have to try.
I have been playing the borderlands games since 1. They are honestly my favorite game series, even the ones that have been not so great. Including 3. But we won’t get on a rant about that today. When 3 came out I chose FL4K as my guy to play. I have tried the other vault hunters and yet I still go back to FL4K. The choice was made before the game even came out, it was never a bandwagon choice or because he was going to end up to be the most OP at game start. But lately I find myself extremely frustrated playing him and not as much enjoyment. He needs some fixing and balancing in order to keep him an option for most to play. The VH’s are very unbalanced right now when it comes to DPS and Survivability. They nerfed the sht out of FL4K and Moze in the beginning and made everyone switch to this Amara and Zane bandwagon. When you compare all of those, you can see why. Zane has turned into this easy god mode play. Amara very similar. Where as alot of the FL4K’s and Moze’s are frustrated and dying all the time. The balance between these 4 just doesn’t exist anymore which was why the nerfed in the first place. But all that happened was the tables turned. FL4K is a lot of fun and I like the different ways you can play him and his builds. But he can’t survive, he can’t stand up. It is frustrating and takes the fun out of playing him. I personally have tried everything. I am not a new gamer, and don’t consider myself to suck lol. They continue to fix everyone else, have slowly made them god it seems. yet FL4K just gets left behind, I think it’s because they think “well he can hit hard” yeah but have you played Zane? I mean it’s a joke. Zane hits hard, and doesn’t go down. So I am not sure what the idea is here, but the community has shifted to this bandwagon sht and not WHO they WANT to play. They just don’t want to keep dying all the time. I just really hope this is on their minds and somewhere in the cards because the higher levels we go, the harder FL4K will fall. He has lost most of his players and that screams a big message to me. FIX HIM.
Fl4k is fine they can do every content with a ton of builds. If everyone wants to hop on the meta train who cares just play how you want. Also there are plenty of ways to help Fl4k survive use them.
His survivability sucks lol. Not much else to say there. Regardless of the train, the VH’s should not have that big of a gap. The gap is too huge in this game.
Go read something else, it’s really easy? Since you think you can teach me so much about mechanics I am already aware of, I guess I can teach you how to click on another forum? It’s not complaining it’s a fact. Widely thought fact. It’s just that simple. The game is broken and so are VH mechanics in so many ways in all of them. This isn’t new or surprising to anyone else, might want to get on that bandwagon. I posted a topic, dont sit here and be petty just leave the topic lol.
FL4K’s survivability can range from bad to decent to good (not on par with those others, of course), it depends on how you play around it and skill tree choices. The regen skills do need a little boost and things like Rage and Recover could be a bit stronger. Other than that, they don’t need god mode/busted lifesteal or anything of the sort (as of yet, since we don’t know where the game is going exactly)
